Ridden by David Flores, Mizdirection ran 6 1/2 furlongs in 1:16.50 and paid $2.60 and $2.10 as the 3-10 favorite. Teroda returned $2.40. La Nez was another 3 1/2 lengths back in third, and Saanneen was fourth.

The Grade 3 race was switched from turf to dirt after heavy rain fellFriday, reducing the field to four starters. There was no show wagering.

Mizdirection, trained by Mike Puype, earned her first win on dirt after winning five previous races on turf.

"I had confidence today," Flores said, "but I was expecting her to have the same turn of foot that she does on grass, and it was not like that. The dirt is getting heavier, so it was a bit tiring.

"When I moved outside, I had her chase the leader. She accelerated slowly, but she got on it. After the wire, she was very happy. It's good to ride a horse like this. She showed her class."

The victory, worth $60,000, increased Mizdirection's career earnings to $360,111, with six wins in 10 starts for Rome's Jungle Racing and his two partners. She was purchased for $50,000 in May 2010.
